It should not be hard to find a good Power Armor re-texture, especially for something as wickedly cool as Tesla Power Armor. I mean, c'mon!

It glows!

It arcs!

Its got a sorta Frankenstein/Metropolis feel to it!

And it looks GREAT in the dark!

So here's a little something we can all enjoy: Tesla Armor given a slight HD treatment, and then massaged with freshened colors that really make it pop. In three different flavors!

The default version with enhanced colors and electronics.

The default version with re-colored arcing.

A new gray-black steel version resembling the Enclave's Advanced Power Armor Mark II, onto which the original Tesla Power Armor electronics were grafted by the Enclave.

All of the coils and electronics have been upgraded, and everything has been sharpened for better detail.

About the textures and nifs========================================================These textures are a direct replacements for the default ones. They have been tweaked and shaded so the game will render Tesla Armor with much better detail and better colors. This mod is compatible with ENB. In the default version with re-colored arcs, the nifs have been modified so that the arcs are more purple. If you've ever seen a real Tesla coil, the arcs are cyan-to-purple, and not pale blue-to-white. But the latter renders better, so I guess that's why Bethesda went with it.

The original textures weighed in at 1024 and 512 pixels, and either had no alpha channel (DXT 1) or had a grayscale, sloping alpha channel (DXT 5). As large size means better resolution (when correctly resized), the textures and normals have been super-sized in the default re-texture and its variant. It contains:

4096x4096 Armor

2048x2048 Helmet and Pack

The gray-black steel uses default texture sizes that have been thoroughly massaged.

The alphas were added where appropriate to preserve fidelity, so unlike the default files these are saved as DXT 3 or DXT 5 DDS files. The resized and refined normals go with new mipmaps so things look good close up and from afar.

There is no discernible decrease in performance or fps regardless of which option you use.

Compatible with all mods. If you have another mod that re-textures Tesla Power Armor, load this below it and let it overwrite.
